Impinging jet cooling technique has been widely used extensively in various industrial processes, namely, cooling and drying of films and papers, processing of metals and glasses, cooling of gas turbine blades and most recently cooling of various components of electronic devices. Due to high heat removal rate the jet impingement cooling of the hot surfaces is being used in nuclear industries. During the loss of coolant accidents (LOCA) in nuclear power plant, an emergency core cooling system (ECCS) cool the cluster of clad tubes using consisting of fuel rods. Controlled cooling, as an important procedure of thermal-mechanical control processing technology, is helpful to improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of steel. In industries for heat transfer efficiency and homogeneous cooling performance which usually requires a jet impingement with improved heat transfer capacity and controllability. It provides better cooling in comparison to air. Rapid quenching by water jet, sometimes, may lead to formation of cracks and poor ductility to the quenched surface. Spray and mist jet impingement offers an alternative method to uncontrolled rapid cooling, particularly in steel and electronics industries. Mist jet impingement cooling of downward facing hot surface has not been extensively studied in the literature. The present experimental study analyzes the heat transfer characteristics a 0.15mm thick hot horizontal stainless steel (SS-304) foil using Internal mixing full cone (spray angle 20 deg) mist nozzle from the bottom side. Experiments have been performed for the varied range of water pressure (0.7–4.0 bar) and air pressure (0.4–5.8 bar). The effect of water and air inlet pressures, on the surface heat flux has been examined in this study. The maximum surface heat flux is achieved at stagnation point and is not affected by the change in nozzle to plate distance, Air and Water flow rates.

The jet impingement cooling is always preferred over the other cooling methods due to its high heat removal capability. However, rapid quenching may lead to the formation of cracks and poor ductility to the quenched surface. Mist jet impingement cooling offers an alternative method to uncontrolled rapid cooling, particularly in steel and electronic industries. In mist cooling, the droplets are atomized by compressed air. Experiments are performed under transient conditions using two full-cone spray nozzles (Lechler Pneumatic atomizing nozzle 136.115.xx.A2 and 136.134.xx.A2) to study the effect of subcooling and nozzle diameter on surface heat flux. The hot surface used for the experiment is a stainless steel foil (AISI-304) of thickness 0.15mm. The initial surface temperature of the plate is maintained at 500±10°C with the help of an AC transformer. Infrared thermal image camera (A655sc, FLIR System) is used for data estimation. The IR camera and the nozzle are positioned on either side of the plate. The variation in surface temperature has been acquired at 8 different spatial points. It has been observed that that as we move away from the stagnation point then irrespective of air and water flow rates surface heat flux decreases. The maximum surface heat flux obtained at the stagnation point. With the increase in diameter surface heat flux increases irrespective of pressure values. The correlation between qm/qstag experimental and predicted values has been shown.

AbstractA transient surface heating or cooling process of a solid is considered. A procedure for the determination of surface temperature and surface heat flux density during such a process is presented using a submersed temperature sensor in the solid. From this measured temperature the surface temperature and surface heat flux density are calculated by inverse process modelling. This method is prone to errors since measurement errors are amplified in the inverse process modelling and can thus easily become unacceptably large. The LSQR regularisation algorithm is optimised for fast performance as well as less memory requirement and applied to the inverse problem solution. The proposed method allows to simulate an experimental setup and to determine the accuracy of the results gained from the simulated experiment. This is essential for the determination of the accuracy of a planned or existing test facility. The influence of process parameters like sensor depth, sensor noise level, sampling rate, heat flux density amplitude and cooling/heating process duration is investigated. In most cases it is very important to carefully adjust the process parameters in order to obtain reliable and accurate results. Additionally the proper selection of the regularisation parameter required for the inverse problem solution is analysed.
